Wild scene as cow attempts to escape livestock auction by scaling the bleachers, knocking out the ceiling

A wild video caught the chaotic moments as a cow attempted to break out of a livestock auction.

Attendees at the Arkansas auction caught the wild scene during the auction in Decatur as the cow made a run for it, taking to the top of the bleachers and knocking down ceiling tiles in the venue.

Ashley Buffer, who recorded the video, could be heard directing, “Get out of there – get out of there, Leon! Get down from there.”

After one of the auction attendees appeared to trap himself with the cow, Buffer said, “Oh, Johnny. Oh Johnny. Johnny’s going the wrong way.”

The cow was successfully captured later by farmers and taken out of the building.

The escapade may have rattled those at the auction house, but social media found the clip highly entertaining.

Hilarious hope no one was hurt including the livestock…..
